I grew up in a small town in the 80's. A cop in the mall asked me my name once. I said "I'm 'Firstname Lastname'." Lastname is extremely white in nature.
His response, "You don't look like a 'Lastname'."

Thirteen year old me was introduced to systematic racism that day. A few years later I got my drivers license. I was pulled over quite often. My car searched regularly. I was always okay with wasting 45 minutes of a couple of squad cars worth of officers time.
"Sure officer, go ahead and search my car."

Now I get more pleasure out of saying no and seeing how it plays out... but now I'm not ever seen as anything but white. I get a lot less sun in my old age.

"What do you have to hide? Why don't you want me to take a look around?!"

I have always gotten a sick satisfaction from making references to things that no one else catches. It makes me laugh and then someone calls me weird. If anyone asks for a source, I just shrug and shake my head like I just made it up. Good times.

Edit: if I were to write this over I would replace 'just made it up' with 'don't know what I'm talking about'.

I was a phone tech for Sprint for 5 years before they axed 90% of their techs earlier this year. There are a lot of reasons why data speeds suck. They have more spectrum than any other carrier but unfortunately they have a hard time getting the bandwidths to work well together, partially because they are spread out all over the place.

Another big issue is just building and optimizing their 4g network. Historically they have been pretty strapped for cash and always putting their money in the hands of the wrong people (like buying nextel and having clearwire build their first 4g).

I suspect that they also have contracts to give preferential treatment to certain devices (like iPhones). And their network also supplies data for a ton of other things (like kindles).

If you get a good data speeds where you use your phone, there network is pretty awesome. If you don't, switch carriers. They have this thing called Spark some places. 25mbps down and higher, but I've only seen it work off one tower that happened to be across the street from our store.

I would assume the reaction would be public shaming and character assassination of the accuser by the government entities along with the possibility of actual assassination. That along with a strong retaliation by mass media denying the plausibility of what is in fact the truth.

This would be an extremely difficult situation to deal with. Shouldn't they have known in advance from genetic testing? People pay a lot for surrogates and expect a heathy baby in response. I can't say how I would feel in this situation. In a natural conception it is completely different.

I hope you get a serious good response to this because from my point of view, it would be easier and safer to quarantine a victim of this disease where they are and airlift the supplies and personal to them in the effected area. Why would you risk bringing an infected person into an uninfected area? Logically it makes no sense. Why bring ANY chance of the spread of this disease into a new area? Have these people never seen any zombie film? Seriously though.

Except you're not explaining the displacement of the native population. What you are stating is that Christians and Muslims also should be allowed to displace the people in Israel to set up a governmental state in Israel based on the historical significance to a region. Ethnicity and religion get a bit mixed up when it comes to Jewish heritage. Should the French claim rights to a land based on ideology, and claim a right to Spanish territory based on historic significance and set up a government that displaces Spaniards, is that okay? Should Native Americans claim rights to US territory based on their religious beliefs based on their ethnic heritage? If you believe Jewish people have a right to own Israel, you also believe Native Americans should rightfully reclaim America.

I feel the same way. There is so much more customizing and crafting. More stuff to unnecessary hoard, brighter scenery, Spoiler. 3 eases you into NV, but do New Vegas on hardcore the first time through.

>Defenders of Zionism say it is a national liberation movement for the repatriation of a dispersed socio-religious group to what they see as an abandoned homeland millennia before.[5][6][7] Critics of Zionism see it as acolonialist[8] or racist[9] ideology that led to the denial of rights, dispossession and expulsion of the "indigenous population of Palestine".[10][11][12][13]

Sometimes wiki gets it right. Zionism=Jewish, Jewish=/=Zionist.

Edit to add. Jewish people believe in a religion. Zionists believe in a religious based political movement. It is the same difference between believing in any religion and demanding a religiously based government. Muslim and Christians have groups that are similarly based but those groups are labeled as extremist groups.

As someone who has a lot of difficulty differentiating vowel sounds and also knowing when to use double consonances; I can relate. I had a teacher ridicule me until I cried in 5th grade, 1991. Way before auto correct existed and the internet was commonplace. Now all I need is some good grammar/punctuation correction and I'll be able wright a novel.

My wife has gained a good amount of weight. I just found a picture of us when she was at her thinnest and damn she looks good. She seems very self conscious of her weight gain and seams to not like the changes. I wish she knew that I think she is just as sexy now and I wouldn't change a thing besides her outlook on it. I've tried to tell her but I know she just thinks I'm being polite. It affects her outlook on a lot of things. I want her to be as happy to be alive as I am but her weight is holding her back. I know a lot of guys are asses about weight and tend to be passive aggressive but I am not. I don't even know what to do when she digs into herself about it. I think she is HOT! I wish she thought so too.
